When I was younger my wife dragged me off to contra-dances in grange halls. I am a total non-coordinated putz, but I did my best. Those dances were serious work, like something from Jane Austen but speeded up about 10x.
After 20 minutes or so they would break, and a couple of musicians would stay behind and play a waltz for those who wanted more right now. I felt so bad when women (of a certain age) would come up to me and ask me to dance with them. I could never get the simple 1-2-3, and wound up turning away plenty.
